Calculate the work done (in J) by an 80.0 kg man who pushes a crate 3.95 m up along a ramp that makes an angle of 20.0 with the horizontal. (See the figure below.) He exerts a force of 455 N on the crate parallel to the ramp and moves at a constant speed. Be certain to include the work he does on the crate and on his body to get up the ramp. 1797.20 x

Describe a situation in which a force is exerted for a long time but does no work. Explain.
Suppose a car travels 108 km at a speed of 30.0 m/s, and uses 2.0 gal of gasoline. Only 30 of the gasoline goes into useful work by the force that keeps the car moving at constant speed despite friction. (The energy content of gasoline is about 140 Mi/gal.) (a) What is the magnitude of the force exerted to keep the car moving at constant speed? (b) If the required force is directly proportional to speed, how many gallons will be used to drive 108 km at a speed of 28.0 m/s?
Calculate the work done by an applied force of 75.0 N on a crate if (a) the force is exerted horizontally while pushing the create 5.00 m and (b) the force is exerted at an angle of 35.0 above the horizontal. (See Section 5.1.)
Cite two examples in which a force is exerted on an object without doing any work on the object.
A particle of mass 2.0 kg moves under the influence of the force F(x)=(5x2=7x)N . Suppose a frictional force also acts on the particle. If the particle’s speed when it starts at x=4.0 m is 0.0 m/s and when it arrives at x=4.0 m is 9.0 m/s, how much work is done on it by the frictional force between x=4.0 m and x=4.0 m?

Calculate the work done by an 85.0-kg man who pushes a crate 4.00 m up along a ramp that makes an angle of 20.00 with the horizontal (see below). He exerts a force of 500 N on the crate parallel to the ramp and moves at a constant speed. Be certain to include the work he does on the crate and on his body to get up the ramp.
